Description

Fifty acres of mostly usable land. Abundant nature including jungle, wildlife, birds and a spring bubbling out of the ground. There is a sizable river that runs along the lower edge of the property. There are both ocean & sunset views from selected areas of the property. All this about 12 minutes from Uvita's town center.

The proximity to Uvita's grocery stores might be rendered unnecessary. After living on this property for a while, you may find that you don't go the the grocery store as much - or at all. The property does a gentle slope from its highest point down to the lowest, which is at the level of the river. The profile makes most of the property usable for farming, gardening and of course, your choice of structures.

At the uppermost point of the property there is a gorgeous jungle with its own jungle micro-climate and eco-system. Numerous examples of Costa Rica's wildlife call this place home. Coming down just a bit you get to the highest building area that offers an expansive panorama overlooking the rest of the property as well as the ocean towards the west.

The area is characterized by large farms, many of which are off the grid. One is an internationally known permaculture retreat where students and guests can visit to learn the various aspects to permaculture and organic farming. Off-the-grid is a possibility thanks to the power of the equatorial sun and the proximity of the Ballena River.

The access to the property is 10 minutes up from the coastal highway on a well maintained public gravel road. Across the road from the property is a 1,000 hectare nature preserve. On the lower side of the property and across the river there is a 350 hectare private preserve. Nature is abundant in this area and is assured to remain so into perpetuity.

Once you arrive at the property you are in the shade of gorgeous trees. The present owners have maintained the property well. There has been no tractor work done on the property so there are a number of natural building sites with sufficient land around each one for privacy, according to your design.

The property is at 800 feet elevation and is located directly inland from the Marino Ballena National Park. One can expect sunset views over the ocean from select spots on the property.

Some who have viewed the property have said that just viewing this property was one of the nicer walks in Costa Rica that they've had. The river is gorgeous and features swimming holes and cascades & waterfalls.

Life's changes are the motive behind this property being for sale. The present owners had intended to move to Costa Rica and live on the property. They are ready to move on and so have priced it to sell.
